what is the typical cost of cutting mild steel 0.25" per inch vs cutting
aluminum or stainless?

How does the cost of laser compare to plasma cutting?

Hello,

what is the average accuracy for sheet steel laser cut parts? thanks


It depends on the type and thickness of the material. On thin steel, under
.060", +/-.002" can be done with some care, but we usually quote +/-
.005". Thick stuff like 3/4" A36 gets a taper, so +/- .010 or even .015.
